Calcio Storico Fiorentino
You’ve heard of American football and Gaelic football, but did you know there’s such a thing as Italian football? This 16th century sport is revived annually at Calcio Storico Fiorentino, a tournament that takes place every June in Florence, Italy.
Calcio storico is described as being a combination of soccer, rugby, and wrestling. If that doesn’t sound cool enough, the athletes even don historical costumes for the match.
Four teams representing the historic neighborhoods of Florence face off against each other to win the title along with the prize of a Chianina calf. While tickets may not be expensive – starting at just 29 euros – they do sell out quickly, so start planning your trip now.
